I was going to get a wisdom tooth pulled one time. When I went to the dentist, he told me he'd have to cut it out rather than pull it. And they did not want to give me gas. I let no one cut inside my mout unless I'm completely out of it. I said f#(K that and got some antibiotics to make the inflammation go away. It hasn't bothered me since. Sorry not exactly the feedback you were looking for, maybe even a little discouraging. Just tell John I'm a pussy and he'll be fine.
